Ready Cooked Sunday Meals.

The conlmGnest sight of early Sunday
morning in the cheaper quarters of an
English city is the people carrying their
dinners TO the bakers ODE cooked in their
ovens. When the last batch of bread is
drawn the ovens are filed with joints and
poultry, which are delivered, at moder-
ate price, piping hot for the table Years
ago, in smaller communities, the practice
was observed here, but | never encoun-
tered it in New York until the other
Sunday. 1t was on the east side, in a
populous tenement district, that | came
on q procession OF women, girls and boys
carrying ell styles and sizes of baking
dishes into a bakery. The economy Of
the practice is obvious 1t saves the
building and the Keeping of a fire and the
trouble of homework on what is possibly
the no Isewife's one holiday of the week
The baker told me that he does brisk
trade in dinner cooking in hot weather
When the mercury becomes dispirited and
fires become necessity, the business ex-
periences a sensible diminutiOn, but there
is still considerable of it going the year
round
The providing Of ready cooked meals is
another growing trade The cooked meat
shop is as notable a feature of Paris as
the bakery dinner is Of England. 1t has
existed and thriven here for a long while,
principally by the patronage OF the French
and German population. Latterly, how
ever, it has taken q wider popularity
among the natives. One dealer in cooked
meats now runs several shops in various
parts Oh the city, and new men in TIE
business ere constantly springing up.
Many people who live III fats rely on these
shops for the solid portions of their meals.
only cooking vegetables or fancy dishes
at home. 1t does net save any money
directly, probably but fancy it is made
to serve the purpose of dispensing with

lect was SO strange upon us all that we
clasped our hands in sort of divine des-
pair, unable to find any expression that
could convey the sense of what we felt
and it's vain attempt to try to put the
least CLEAN of its brilliancy upon my
dead white page. The intensity of the
light over Mont Blanc and the H guHe
Ierte was that of the most gorgeous
sunset; it had no suggestion of the pal
Ior and undlstlnctness of moonlight, and
1t gave US some faint idea of the height
OF these peaks, when We remembered
that the sun, which had been three
hours set in the valley below US, was

Miss Clevelands visit to the White
House is referred to, says the Philad l.
phia Times, as one of the most delight
full events of the season in the circles in
which she moved while there. The
Presidents sister is held in high esteem
at Washington, and the friends she has
arethose her personal qualities have won.
A continuous round of luncheons, din
ners and receptions were given in her
honor, and trunk would not have held
the invitations she received to teas and
drives. The quiet life she is leading at
Holland Patent agrees with her unusu-
ally well since she broke in on its rou-
tine by year at Washington and a vast
improvement in her personal appearance
was noted. Her cheeks are fuller and
have a ruddier glow, and her step is
more elastic. In conversation she ex-
pressed anew her pleasure at the Presi-
dents fortunate marriage, and her entire
satisfaction at her own life and lot. One
other fact was also developed during her
stay-that being the woman who took
Miss Cleveland's place as Mistress of
the White House has no better friend or
warmer adnirer than Miss Cleveland
herself.

Value of White Topaz.

The white topaz found near Pixies
Peak is almost equal in value to the
diamond. Not many people know this;
but | found y topaz on the banks of the
Platte river last summer and sent it to
a lapidary in New York to have it cut.
1t weighed S2S carats, and the lapidary
sent back word that he would give me
$500 for it. refused the offer, and in
vestigation disclosed the fact that if |
had sold the stone it would have found
its way into some OF the large jewelry
stores of the metropolis, where, cut into
innumerable small stones, it would
have been offered for sale as genuine
diamonds. Clear white topaz is worth
50 carat. A three or four carat, we'll
cut stone will cost you $50 or $40 The
white topaz has the brilliancy and
hardness of the diamond, and differs
from it only in being somewhat trans-
parent Its angle of refraction differs
only slightly from that OF the diamond.

Immediately sets to work TO expel il

have already been spoken of; and the
liver and kidneys are no less actively
engaged in getting rid of the internal
stuff. The effect on the liver is to pro-
duce, after considerable time, an in

commonly known, ''hob-nail liver"

organ after death The kidneys are

of intemperance.

the physical effects of this pernicious
poison. 1t can not be too deeply i'm
pressed upon the minds of the rising
generation that. no matter what cause
may be alleged, nobody drinks wine,
or beer or cider, or whisky, or any
other form of rum, for any real reason
save that is contains alcohol; that this
subtle liquid is poison, and nothing
but poison; that, like any other poi
son, its effects are proportional to the
dose, and that small quantity taken
daily will eventually be as destructive
as larger dose taken more frequent

ENEMIES OF BEES.
Insects That Will, Unless Exterminated in
Time, Destroy Entire Swarns.

Insects That Will, Unless Exterminated in
Time, Destroy Entire Swarms.
The honey bee has a number of enc
mics: The mosquito hawk or Dragon
fly, the bee-killer (Asilus)-a tachina
fly, reported to lay its eggs in the bodies
of bees-ants, and some large spiders,
which entangle bees in their webs. The
king bird, toads, mice, all these are
thought more or less destructive to bees.
The really destructive enemy, however,
is the bee moth (Galleria Cereana.) 1t
is the largest of the tineas. The moth
lays its eggs in the minutest of cracks.
The larva protects itself by a web, and
if not interfered with will eventually
destroy the swarm, completely envelop-
ing the comb.
In its perfect or adult state it is a
winged moth or miller, measuring. from
the head to the tip of the closed wings,
from five-eighths to three-quarters of
an inch in length, and its wings expand
from one inch and one-tenth to one
inch and four-tenths. The feelers are
two in number; and the tongue is very
short, and hardly visible The fore
wings shut together fiat on the top of
the back. slope steeply downward at
the sides, and are turned up at the end,
somewhat like the tail of fowl.
The male is of dusky gray color,
his fore wings are more or less CLOSED
and streaked with purple-brown on the
outer edge; they have a few dark brown
spots near the inner margin, and they
are scalloped or notched inwardly ut
the end; his hind wings are light yell
lowish-gray, with whitish fringes. The
female is much larger than the male
and much darker-colored; her fore
wings are proportionately longer, not
so deeply notched on the outer hind
margin, and not so much turned up at
the end; they are more tinged with
purple-brown, sprinkled with darker
spots; and the hind wings are dirty or
grayish white. There are two broods
of these insects in the course of Il year.
Some winged moths of the first brood
begin to appear toward the end of
April or early in May; those of the
second brood are most abundant in
August; but between these periods, and
even later, others come to perfection,
and consequently some of them may be
found during the greater part of the
summer. BY day they remain quiet on
the sides or in the crevices OF .hc bee
house; but, if disturbed at this time.
they open their wings little and spring
or glide swiftly away, so that it is very
difficult to seize or to hold Them
